DNA tests are often done for various purposes. These tests reveal who your biological family is. A person took to Quora to share an incident of her friend – a 70-year-old single man – who did not have any family. He just had a couple of friends. The man’s life changed overnight after he found out that he had a daughter all this while, who was a result of a high school romance, 50 years ago. The incident left the internet stunned. In his old age, he has been spending his retirement time alone with his friends and neighbours. After a DNA test, it was revealed that also has grandchildren and great-grandkids as well.
A question was asked on Quora, “Has anyone ever taken a DNA test and found something completely shocking?” To this, a woman named Kathleen Collard answered, “Yes, a good friend had quite a shock.” The friend shared, “He (is) 70 years old, single (and) found out that he had a child. The mother was a high school girlfriend whom he impregnated and he never knew about the pregnancy or that she had given a child up for adoption.” She continued, “He met his daughter 50 years later when she did a DNA test as had my friend’s brother. So she found her uncle that way and soon after her biological father.”
As per reports, the 70-year-old had first refused to get the DNA test done, but at the request of a friend, he did and found the entire family. Since then, the elderly man has been in touch with his family, loving and enjoying learning about his new family, their lives, interests and experiences.
The Quora post further read, “My single friend became a great-grandfather overnight and is delighted to have this new family in his life. They are lovely.” In the comment section of the post, many people shared their own experiences.
